Description
This Slow Cooked Round Steak recipe transforms an affordable cut of beef into a tender, flavorful, and comforting crockpot dinner with rich gravy. It’s budget-friendly, easy to prep, and perfect for weeknights or Sunday suppers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef round steak, cut into serving-sized portions
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat: Trim excess fat from round steak if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the Gravy Base: In a bowl, combine onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
- Layer in the Crockpot: Place steak pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the soup mixture over, coating evenly.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until fork-tender.
- Serve: Plate with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles and drizzle with the gravy.
Notes
- Don’t skip the onion soup mix—it adds rich umami flavor.
- Layer steak evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- For variety, add sliced onions, mushrooms, or carrots directly to the crockpot.
- Low and slow cooking produces the most tender results.
- Avoid lifting the lid too often—it releases heat and slows cooking.
